probot-app-delete-merged-branch v1.0.1

probot-app-delete-merged-branch

Forked from https://github.com/SvanBoxel/delete-merged-branch

A GitHub app built with Probot that automatically deletes a branch after it's merged.

Running it locally

1. First, follow these instructions for making your own GitHub app. Give your app the following permissions: - Repository contents: Read & Write. - Pull requests: Read

2. Then, clone the repo:

git clone git@github.com:uber-workflow/probot-app-delete-merged-branch.git

3. Copy .env.example to .env and set the right environment variables as here

4. Now, install app dependencies and run it:

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run the bot
npm start

How it works

This GitHub app listens to the pull_request.closed webhook. If a pull request is closed and the connected branch is merged, it will delete the branch.
